Chapter 372: A boulder blocks the road

Early the next morning, the ore convoy of the General's Mansion set off with the six turtle brothers.

Meng Jianwen was not very satisfied with Jingjing's distribution plan, but because he was a little bit of a loss, he was embarrassed to object.

Along the way, in order to ease the atmosphere, he took the initiative to talk to the turtle, but the latter always ignored him.

Especially the turtle is big, he would rather let his brothers work hard, but he has a horse to himself, and he walks side by side with the quiet carriage.

And Jing Jing is like a different person, always pestering the turtle and asking long and short questions, as if they have already known each other, without a sense of strangeness.

Speaking of speculation, laughter was heard from time to time, which made Meng Jianwen very dissatisfied.

Maybe it was because he had some quiet distance contact with Jingjing, and he occasionally wanted to approach the carriage and participate in the chat, but when he saw Jingjing's white eyes, he had to hurry a few steps and be with Yichen.

Yichen still didn't care much about this, only occasionally listening to the conversation between Jing Jing and Turtle Da, but did not make any comments.

Although it is still a mountain road, the width has increased several times, and even if the troika is side by side, it will not be crowded.

The road surface is relatively flat, there are few potholes, and since the ground is no longer rocky, the horses are able to exert their full strength, even when they encounter slopes, they will not cause trouble.

I think the road is relatively safe, and it is inconvenient for thieves to start, so the first few days the road was smooth and the speed was much faster.

After a few days of calm, everyone's hearts that have been hanging have gradually relaxed.

If you follow this speed, it is very likely that you will arrive in the Nine Shadows City ahead of schedule, and the task of ore delivery will be completed.

Meng Jianwen considered leaving the General's Mansion, so as not to cause discord between the brothers because of the matter of the Yin Gate.

But I also thought that even if I didn't participate, I am afraid that it would be difficult to stop General Xiang's plan, and for the Kingdom of Sartre, this may be a disaster.

Whether to go or stay makes him very nerve-wracking.

In the midst of confusion, the ore convoy of the General's Mansion ran to a valley.

In the middle of the two high mountains, there is a gentle area, and the merchants who are greedy for shortcuts will go straight through here, and after a long time, the road will naturally be formed.

When I first entered the valley, the road was still relatively wide, and it was much easier to walk than the mountain road in Qilian Town.

"The terrain here is steep, so be on guard. ”

With Meng Jianwen's order, Ding Yuqiang quickly sent eight people from the guards, broke away from the ore convoy, walked quickly, and went to the front to investigate.

Later, eight more guards came out of the ranks, keeping a certain distance from the first batch of eight people, and while probing, they could also take care of the front and back.

And specially sent a guard, accompanied by horseback, to report the situation ahead at any time.

The ore convoy slowed down, and once there was an accident ahead, it could notify Ding Yuqiang and even Meng Jianwen in time.

If you are a qiē shun lì, it will take a day for the convoy to fully access the valley.

The further you go, the narrower the mountain road becomes, but fortunately, the terrain is quite flat, which does not hinder the movement of the ore carts, but the speed is much slower.

Due to the fact that the last ore convoy of the General's Mansion encountered thieves and suffered huge losses, this time, General Xiang deliberately chose a relatively remote mountain road with few people in peacetime.

The trail is rough and slow, but it is relatively safe, and due to the terrain and the difficulty of supplies, the area is not suitable for large-scale thieves to carry out long periods of activity.

Moreover, General Xiang only seeks stability, not speed, and the time given is also very generous

With a peak powerhouse like Meng Jianwen in charge, even if he encounters a small group of thieves, he will generally not have any trouble.

Thieves also need a certain cost to rob, and large bandit groups have a large number of people and huge expenses.

If you gather in this area, sometimes you don't meet a decent caravan once a year, and the supplies you loot are not enough to spend.

In order to get more wealth, such a thing that does not outweigh the losses, the powerful bandit group does not bother to do.

Unless a very small group of robbers, or some rabble, or even a desperate thief, can't intervene where there is enough oil and water, they have to run to the wilderness where such birds don't.

These thieves are often low-level in strength, and occasionally there are a few high-level masters of warlords, which is already very good.

If they encounter such a thief, they don't need Meng Jianwen to make a move at all, just Ding Yuqiang and them are enough to deal with it.

However, Meng Jianwen didn't dare to be careless, after all, this road had not been traveled before, and unknown things had not happened, so try to focus on prevention.

As the saying goes, be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, and he is actually quite correct in doing so, but he was ridiculed by the turtle:

"Miss, look at that little white face, he has never seen the world, and the slightest wind and grass scares him like a great enemy. ”

"Don't talk nonsense... Wenwen has always been steady, vigilant, and prepared, which I think is good. ”

The silence in the carriage, although she chatted warmly with the turtle, but when it came to the image of Meng Jianwen, she still tried her best to maintain it.

"The turtle is a big frustration, please don't blame the eldest lady. "It's strange to say, in front of Meng Jianwen, the turtle almost didn't give in, but he was submissive to Jingjing.

These words reached Meng Jianwen's ears, and he had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly.

What is the origin of this turtle, he always can't get along with himself, and quietly meets him at first sight, which is ......

"Report, five miles ahead, I found a small group of people, about 20 people, with strange whereabouts, and when I saw our eight brothers, they did not come into contact with each other, but left immediately. On the surface, the cultivation of these people will not exceed the five grades of the war generals. ”

Before Meng Jianwen could think about it, news of a suspected thief came from ahead.

"Watch and keep looking. Ding Yu waved his powerful hand, and the guard left as he said.

"Ding Yuqiang, if we fight, what do you think of the chances of those eight brothers winning?" waited for the guards to leave, Meng Jianwen asked.

"Lord Huimeng, five of these eight brothers' cultivation have reached the fifth rank of the war general, at least they will not lose soon. And once the fight starts, the eight brothers of the second group will arrive at the first time, and the thieves will be defeated. ”

Ding Yuqiang replied respectfully, he was still very confident in the strength of his guards.

"In that case, let's move at a normal pace. ”

Ordinary thieves, when they have not set up an ambush, will not engage with spies.

Only when you see the goods and are sure that you are sure that you will carry out the robbery regardless of the situation.

Although Ding Yuqiang believed in the strength of the guards, for the sake of safety, he sent eight more guards to reinforce them.

The rest of the guards are lined up on both sides of the ore convoy, keeping an eye on the surrounding environment at all times to ensure the safety of the ore convoy.

Meng Jianwen knew that this road had to go down, even in the face of thieves, it was impossible to retreat, otherwise it would be a small matter of delay, and the prestige of the General's Mansion was the key.

If the ore convoy can't reach the Nine Hidden City along the way, then no one will look up to General Xiang in the future, and the status of the General's Mansion will be affected by Yanzhòng.

Rumble......

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering loud bang, and the entire valley trembled.

"Report ...... Two miles ahead, boulders rolled down the hill, blocking the way. ”

The guards who delivered the message returned in a very short time.

Because the three groups of guards sent by Ding Yuqiang were about a mile apart from each other, the first eight were just blocked by the boulders and lost contact with the other two groups of guards.

"Calm... Speed up overall, and there will be thieves ahead. ”

The last time the ore of the General's Mansion was robbed, it was mainly because except for a deputy general who was at the peak of the battle commander, the other guards were led away from the ore cart by the brothers of the Volunteer Corps.

By the time the summer night attacked, the entire ore convoy, only the deputy general remained, and he was still sticking to his post.

Due to being outnumbered, Xia Ye led the volunteer group to win the first battle and snatched all the ore.

In view of this, Meng Jianwen would not stay away from the ore cart lightly, even if the eight brothers in front of him were in danger, they could only wait for the ore convoy to arrive before they had a chance to break through.

As for whether there are still ambushes on the mountains on both sides, no one can see, but as long as everyone sticks to the ore cart and allows the thieves to be cunning, it is still difficult to get it.

The two-mile road is not too long, and after a while, the ore convoy led by Meng Jianwen arrived at the place of the incident.

Looking at it, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The already narrow valley was blocked by a boulder placed on each side of the mountain, just to block the road.

And the height of the boulder from the ground has actually reached more than five meters, not to mention that the ore convoy cannot pass through guò, even if the average martial artist, below the level of a general, it is very difficult to climb from the round boulder.

欻欻......

Several figures, rushing up to the top of the boulder from the opposite side, are turning over in this direction.

"Lord Meng, Lord Ding......"

When Ding Yuqiang heard this, he knew that the few people on the boulder were the eight guards who were blocked outside.

Before leaving, Meng Jianwen repeatedly warned the guards that once there were thieves, no matter how many people on the other side were, they should not fight, and focus on protecting the safety of the ore convoy.

These eight guards, when they were investigating, suddenly encountered a boulder rolling down, and with their agility, they barely escaped with their lives.

However, the group of people he followed was already missing.

Keeping in mind Dream Jianwen's warning, the guards gave up looking for the target to follow, climbed the boulder, and returned to everyone.

"Well, well done. The thieves are prepared, let's not mess around, surround the ore trucks, and don't act rashly when the situation is unclear. ”

Under the leadership of Ding Yuqiang, the guards gathered all the ore carts together, including the carriage where Jing Jing was located, which was also surrounded in the center.

Only the six brothers didn't seem to care about the road being blocked, and still stayed by their cars and horses with a big grin, talking and laughing.

Seeing the guards entering their respective posts, Meng Jianwen smiled with satisfaction, and jumped in front of the boulder.

In order to move on, it is necessary to smash the boulders and make a way out of them, allowing the ore convoy to pass through guò.

As soon as he started the stance, before he could exert his strength, he heard someone on the mountain ask:

"Excuse me, which one is the dream lieutenant of the General's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Meng Jianwen said loudly:

"I'm Meng Jianwen, who is Your Excellency?"
